The tabs in this section are organized by Census year and contain corresponding charts that show observed counts and percentages per occupational code.For these charts, occupations displayed for 1850 and 1880 are coded by IPUMS to an 1880 basis, while the 1910 complete count Census dataset is coded by IPUMS to a 1950 basis.
Note that the graphs are all produced using occ_label (according to IPUMS coding scheme for that census year) as the key occupational variable, not occstr or the occupation string as enumerated/transcribed.
Red dashed lines indicate natural breaks (10) in the distrubtion of observed and coded occupations.
